== Literal Translation ==

An overly wooden, word-for-word translation of "'''ὁ υἱὸς τοὺ ἀνθρώπου'''" would be "'''the Son of Man'''", as τοὺ ἀνθρώπου is the genitive of ὁ ἄνθρωπος - (the) man. But this rendition would be inconsistent with how the similar Greek phrase that replaces "of man" with "of peace" is better translated as "a peaceful person," "someone who promotes peace," or "a man of peace" <ref>The NASB translates the Greek word for "son" non-literally as "man", in order to convey the meaning of the phrase.</ref> in Luke 10:6, rather than as  the wooden, literal phrase "a son of peace."<ref>"'''ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ'''" is translated as "'''the Son of God'''."</ref>  But in English the overly literal translation as "the Son of Man" is incoherent, and the phrase interferes with the clear logic of the important passage surrounding [[John 3:16]].
